This album shows the strength and greatness of one of the world's greatest soul/ R&B/ /funk groups. "Greatest and Latest" is a more subdued AWB album, and some of their classic tracks are not here, but that's no major gripe. What is here is just great. Here is collection of 16 tracks spanning 16 years from one of the most sampled bands ever and is culled from their 4 previous album releases and featuring 2 exclusive recordings including 'Work To Do' - Nu Jazz Mix and 2 rare live performance recordings. Special guests include Daryl Hall, Alex Ligertwood, Ronnie Laws, Bobby Mayo, and Chaka Khan. The Average White Band recorded some superb albums, and their "Atlantic Avenue", "Pick Up The Pieces", and "You Got It" are three of the best soul/funk songs ever written. Listen to their "Cut the Cake," and "Person to Person" albums, and check out the band's rare 1974 "AWB/The Clover Sessions" album, a 20-track remastered promotional 2 x CD-R acetate album set @ AWB/COVSS The band's debut album, "Show Your Hand " is @ AWB/SYH and showed the future potential of the band, and the very good Average White Band & Ben E. King - "Benny And Us" album can be located @ AWB/BEK/B&UN.B:"Greatest and Latest" is also available in a CD/DVD edition. Some releases contain the additional track"Let's Go Round Again (live at the London Empire)", which is not included on this post
